Rovin' Gambler
Recorded by Hank Thompson

(capo 2nd fret key E)

[D] I am a rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around
Where-[G] ver I meet with a [D] deck of cards
I [G] lay my money [D] down
(I Lay my money down; [A] Lay my money [D] down.

I had not been in 'Frisco, many more weeks than three
'Til I fell in love with a pretty little girl
She fell in love with me

She took me in her parlor, she cooled me with a fan
She whispered low in her mother's ear
I love this gamblin' man.
Love this gamblin' man,. Love this gamblin' man.

Oh! daughter, Oh! dear daughter, how could you treat me so
And leave your dear old mother
And with a gambler go?"

Oh mother, Oh dear mother, you know I love you well
But the love I have for this gamblin' man
No human tongue can tell.

I left that gal in 'Frisco, and I wound up in Maine
I met up with a gamblin' man
We got in a poker game

He put his money in the pot and dealt the cards around
I saw him deal from the bottom of the deck
So I shot that gambler down

Well, now I'm down in prison, I got a number for my name
The warden said as he locked the door
You've gambled your last game
